I have for sale two solar/planetary/lunar cameras - PTGrey Chameleon and Flea2

Chameleon is one of the most popular cameras for solar work due to very sensitive and hi res sensor. It has 18fps speed and USB2 connection to PC.
Flea2 has the same sensor but is much faster - 30fps at full frame. It's FireWire version but I have proper ExpressCard34 if reqired (for 20eur).

I could really use the Grasshopper in the outreach program which makes this forum and the websites possible if you feel philanthropic at any point. I have a lot of other cameras I could trade but I don't have the budget to outright buy it unless you make an incredible deal.

Stephen,
I can't afford to give it for free right now... But you mentioned (quite) long time ago that you have some solar stuff that you don't use (some etalons, BFs etc.). If you still have something that you don't need, let me know. Maybe we both could be happy

sounds reasonable but I have a rule that I only give away extra solar stuff for free through the Jon Wood Award program. I dont sell or trade anything, just give it away to club members. I didnt realize that you had the 1.3MP version until I looked closer. That one, while a great camera, is not big enough for me to use anyway as I have to broadcast full disks.

But if you want to get full disk, big sensor is not the only solution. You could use shorter focal lenght, try with some focal reducers. I have one (cheap) 0,5x focal reducer that gives me full disk at 714mm FL and 1/3" sensor. But it's quality is poor so images are also poor... I use it as endcap for my camera Something with better quality should help

ya, I am familiar with that. I have 3 Grasshoppers now, the 2.0MP, the 2.8MP and the 5 MP. I use a focal reducer on the Coronado DS90s to get the full disk on these chips. I also have several 1.3MP cameras, the Chameleon, the Opticstar, the Flea, etc.. and the full disk will not fit on them even with a focal reducer on my F7-F9 scopes.

I actually need the money to buy a camera for another community project that I am donating my time an equipment too, so I can't afford to donate it unfortunately. I earn so little that I hardly pay any tax, so that won't work for me either I'm afraid.
:(
